Shang Luo, a humble watchmaker in the sprawling Ming-Roman Empire, just wants a quiet life. But his strange ability to sense the \"Qi\" within machines pulls him into chaos when delusional rebels kidnap him, believing he can activate their \"angel\" – an ancient music box. This isn't just any machine; it's Apollonia, an \"Infinite Magic Machine\" and oracle of fate, who speaks directly into his mind. With Apollonia's sassy guidance, Shang Luo discovers his unique \"Mechanical Qi\" can not only repair but also radically alter the world around him. He's promised a \"no taboo\" path to power and escape from danger. But as he steps into this new, unpredictable reality, he wonders: what cosmic price comes with absolute control over destiny?
